In reply to Leah @ Books Speak Volumes. I LOVE The Paradise and am watching it now. They also have Mr. Selfridge which is great. He started working for Marshall Field in America before he moved to London

In reply to Ann@Booksonthetable. My gosh, so much history! Too bad you won't see Renee, I hate when I can't meet an author whose book I really liked.

In reply to Brandi Bailey. I know- I'm a sucker for a opalescent cover! I sed to go with my mother to our local store- Sibleys- and they had a fancy lunch restaurant and I felt so grown-up!

I haven’t thought about Marshall Fields in a bit. We used to go shopping there when we visited my grandma in Illinois. This one totally missed my radar, but now I need to read it. How dreamy is that cover?

I really enjoyed Renee’s first historical novel, Dollface, but this one is even better — such a treat. Loved your review. The town I live in is the current home of the Marshall Field family — I’m wondering if any of them will read it and what they will think? Renee is coming for an event at our store next week and I am so sorry that I have to be out of town then.

I am almost finished with this book, and I have been loving it! If you haven’t yet read Rosen’s novel Dollface, you should check it out!

This sounds really good! I love books about this time in history.

If you haven’t seen it, you might like the TV show The Paradise. It’s a BBC show on Netflix, set in 1875, about a young girl from the country who moves to the city to work in England’s first department store. It’s super charming!

This one is on my wishlist this year – so intrigued by the story, and my inner-Chicagoan is excited to see Marshall Field’s world brought to life. Thanks for a great review, Catherine!
